Genitourinary cancer team

Early detection of cancer-causing cells is essential to improving chances for recovery. That's why the genitourinary cancer team at the UK Markey Cancer Center offers comprehensive screening programs to detect
kidney,
prostate,
testicular and
bladder cancers in their early stages. The team includes expert urologists, medical oncologists and radiation therapists who work closely with pathologists to provide coordinated patient care.

Specialties

Special expertise among our faculty allows prostate and bladder cancers to be treated with organ preservation. Younger men with prostate cancer may prefer nerve-preserving prostate surgery, which has a high likelihood of urinary continence and sexual function.
